Free Merchandise in Exchange for 5 Star Amazon Review

Post by gravystainonmyshirt »

So I know from first-hand experience that you can get tons of free stuff by agreeing to leave five star reviews for companies on Amazon. I personally have received at least $2500 worth of merchandise in the past year, at minimum. My closet is stuffed full of things like Bluetooth headphones, Bluetooth keyboards, Nick massagers, fruit juicers digital projectors and so much more. The list literally goes on and on, you just have to know where to find the best products.

So there are a couple of ways to do this, the more expensive products are generally done through direct communication with the company. I can leave a couple of website links to a couple of companies where I got my free projector and back massager that cost over $100 each. Doing it direct will sometimes give you the money upfront so you can make the purchase on Amazon. There are a few companies I know that will pay you upfront to your PayPal account and then after you leave your five star review they will send you an email for your next item. That is the direct way to do it, and then there is another way through Facebook that you can get free stuff.

Basically there are companies who hire agents to get five star reviews to build up a companies profile. Those agents are tasked with finding people So they create Facebook groups to show off their merchandise to find people to give the stuff to in exchange for the positive review. They will get a cash commission as well for each positive review they complete. So sometimes they will even give you some of that as well. You go into the Facebook group, speak with an agent, review his items and then agreed to review one of them. Most of the Facebook sellers will require you to order the item and then wait five days after you receive the item before leaving a review. Once the review shows up live on your Amazon account, they will refund the entire purchase price including tax and shipping to your PayPal account, you just give them your email address linked to your PayPal. Worst case scenario would be if you would send back the item for free on Amazon prime but that never happens because they always refund because they want their cash commission as well.

Here is a link with a bunch of Facebook groups that are Free Product Testing advertising groups:

https://www.supersavingmoms.com/free-sa ... t-testing/

Here are a couple of website links to a couple companies that have given me money upfront. The email is to a specific company that always gives me the money upfront, and you can email them directly and they should start giving you a bunch of free stuff, like electric toothbrushes and teeth whitening strips (Fairywill on Amazon). Just email the company and say do you have a friend who said he got some free stuff from you guys for reviewing the products we were just wondering if you could try something else and they will agree to it 100%:

If you have any questions or you want any more direct emails for some different companies just let me know. I also have a bunch of people I speak to on Facebook messenger that give me free stuff, there are a bunch of companies that if you just search for will give you free stuff. What I do is I go on Amazon and look up Bluetooth headphones from some random offbrand company that has a lot of positive reviews. Then you might be able to determine if those reviews look fake because if they do look fake then you can probably get in on the action and Ask them if they have any items that need reviews. Do you want to be careful messaging them on Amazon though, try to figure out a way to contact them directly maybe ask them for a direct contact email or search for the company online. That’s what I did with the Nursal company, I saw other items on Amazon and then looked up the company online and found a way to contact the company and lo and behold I got about $500 worth of free stuff from them. They let you try every single one of their items for free, you just have to do one at a time.

This is why reviews on Amazon have become worthless. It's pretty easy to spot fake 5 star reviews though. I personally wouldn't guarantee anyone a five star review. I would however take free products for an honest review.

I know right, after I figured out that all of this has been happening it really makes me rethink how I evaluate reviews. Too many five star reviews might mean they paid for them. I did get tons of stuff for free tho, and i was even paid extra a dozen times or so. My amazon reviewer ranking is super high, i get offers from amazon vine now lol

Hopefully it makes you rethink how you evaluate yourself too.

So this is just a cool thing that I have discovered about Amazon and all of the Chinese companies that are flooding the market with their junk. So I was just trying to help the community by letting people know that a lot of the stuff that they order can actually be obtained free if you know where to look and who to talk to you. If you were going to order it anyways, you might as well set up a deal with a person to refund you the money after you write a review for it right? Or not, but there’s no need to judge people homie. Peace, love and understanding. If we practice those then we won’t hate on each other so much. I love all of you guys, especially you burninator

Eh, maybe it was a little harsh. Alls I’m saying is that by doing this, you are being part of the problem of why amazon reviews are so unreliable these days.

It’s like sharing with people this cool trick you learned about riding up the left lane and cutting into the line to get off your exit during rush hour traffic, rather than spending 10 minutes sitting in the exit lane with everyone else. Sure, it works, but it’s a pretty shitty thing to do if you care about anything other than your own convenience.

The sad reality people are poor these days and will rat anyone out for a 1$? i even heard people getting money ratting out on those who dont wear a mask so some one can visit them. Its sad but its true and money so far been controlling everyone. no one ever has enough or says alright i have enough, a roof and a car, f the shills and expose them, instead everyone wants free and no one will use most of that stuff anyway. Have you guys seen house hoarders. when they pass away all that is not theirs any more and new owners as a hobby go trough all the items.

My best advice, if you have enough. be happy and not to promote fakerys. If every single one of us did this, we only making more problems in this world and not solutions. Buy stuff you know you will use a lot of times and not just cause its cool and you want to have it because you need to use it once or twice, if can borrow as much as possible if using it once or twice. always ask your self before you buy something, how often will i use this? 70% i stopped my self from buying stuff. it always works. if i know i will use something everyday, sure buy it, it will pay off in a long shot. just my thoughts.

I can't see any way that this is a "help" to the community except, say, to warn us that most Amazon reviews are completely worthless. Dude, this is isn't theft but it is outright Deceit and fraud. If you do this kind of shit just to get luxury items without paying for them, well...... I'm just glad you don't work for me or that I'm not purchasing something from YOU, because I couldn't trust you further than I could throw you. Encouraging this behavior in others is creepy, but it helps me understand how people like Trump can live with themselves. :|

@gravystainonmyshirt

Come on now. We rely on legitimate reviews of products to make informed decisions. So honestly, I want to know your thought process when weighing the personal gains of shilling vs the losses it brings others? It is very rare that someone openly admits to something like this and is willing to have open dialogue. You mentioned peace, love, and understanding. So help me to understand? Why have you decided that these sort of actions are okay?


Also, I'm curious if you see the irony here due to one of Double M's most valuable features being its "Vendor and Strain Reviews" forum? Again, explain to me how you thought sharing this information might be well received by the the Double M community, or really any other community for that matter?


Sorry if I seem disrespectful, but to get respect, you gotta give it. You gotta give it to others who are operating under the assumption that Amazon product reviews aren't actively being falsified by self-interested individuals being bribed to do so.


Peace, Love, and Respect. Homie.

Why do anti-Trump people make everything about politics and specifically Trump. I'll vote Trump for many reasons, one being that Biden's mind is shot and he'll become a puppet for China and the far left.
Anyway, I wouldn't submit a fake review for some free products. I find it rather insulting that you are insinuating Trump supporters have no honesty and integrity. Those are two values I pride myself on.
I don't come to Kratom forums to listen to someone insult others for their political beliefs. If that's gonna become prevalent maybe there should be a Politics section where liberals can go and agree with each other.

Hey, it's an Election Year! Any forum, kratom or otherwise, people talk current events.. COVID, Election, and maybe Black Lives Matter?

There IS a political component to kratom.. obviously. I mean we "assume" everybody HERE wants to keep kratom Legal ?? :P Is that fair? We all know there has been a so-called War On Drugs over past 50+ years.. it is mostly the Republican party in Red states, pushing to ban kratom!! In 2020 it is the Democrat party wanting more liberal drug laws ~ Your Republican Congress almost did ban kratom under the SITSA Act 3 years ago.

I consider myself Independent, but even conservatives now saying' Vote Joe Biden... this Fake President will be gone in 100 days :D
